Jillanne's Bachelorette

We went to Buca di Beppo for dinner and the Melting Pot for dessert. It was good! Thanks for putting it at together Katie and MJ!

Then they came for me...

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak for me.

4th of July!

I had a great 4th of July and I am proud to be an American!

Dress Up!

One of the benefits of going to dances in high school is the dresses. Stella wanted to play dress up and I wanted to join her. As I walked around the corner her the expression on her face was priceless. Here are a few snapshots:

I love my new camera!

Yes I got a new camera (a while ago) and look at what you can do with it. It's called an auction mode. Yes that's my new dog well I am kind of a foster owner. She has stolen my heart! Her name is Samantha (Sammy) and she is a long haired Chihuahua mix.

Church Trip

My parents and I went on a Church History Tour Trip. We started off in Missouri where we went to the LDS Visitor Center, Liberty Jail, Richmond, Far West Temple Site, and Adam-ondi- Omhan., We then headed off to Nauvoo for a few days visiting as many houses and sites as we could. We went on a Wagon Ride through Old Nauvoo, a Carriage Ride to Inspriation Point, Cathage Jail, and We saw different plays High Hopes and River Boats, Rendverous, Sunset by the Mississippi, Just Plain Anna Amanda, and the BYU Folk Danceers. After Nauvoo we traveled to Council Bluffs and Winters Quarters before heading home. In Council Bluffs we went to the Kanesville Tabernacle where Brigham Young was sustained as the prophet. We also learned about the Mormon Battalion. At Winter Quarters we toured the Visitor's Center. It was a great trip! I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story!

We saw two temples while we were on our trip. The Nauvoo Illinois and the Winter Quaters Nebraska. Here are the pictures.
